  • Figured it out... TOP(10000) FROM SysLog WHERE DateTime < @date AND MessageType NOT LIKE '%ASA' SELECT @RowCountVar = @@ROWCOUNT SET @CatchCount = 0; --Null catch count
    in Monthly maintenance - need to keep syslogs on Cisco ASAs Comment by gregatkins September 2012
  • You may need to work with Solarwinds support on this one. We had the same issue when we migrated to a new database server.
